What am I missing?

Thanks]]> Thu, 5 Nov 2009 14:24:34 EST http://www.rvusa.com/forum/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10672 I grew up around rving and am now a few years away from full timing it with my wife. We have been looking at the Forest River Wildcat and Cardinal as well as the Silverback. We are at least a few years away from hitting the road, but would like to seriously start looking into what we like and don't like as well as what is known by the pros as a a great rig to full time it in. In terms of trucks we have been told everything from a Ford f250 diesel to a 350 with dually's.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. - how long before solar power can run an RV?]]> Mon, 28 Sep 2009 19:24:10 EST http://www.rvusa.com/forum/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10793

Key problems with the trailers are:

- They may make owners sick
- They lack an RPTIA inspection seal
- They are not under warranty and formaldehyde levels may not have been tested.
- They have water damage and mold

Wayne (Wisconsin)]]> Fri, 6 Nov 2009 10:23:22 EST http://www.rvusa.com/forum/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=10792 Does anyone have any experience with this generator? Mine has about 8 hours on it and when started will only run for a few seconds then smoothly shut off. It will not restart unless it sits for several minutes then the same thing repeats.
The spark plug is clean and dry when I pull it out to check. Spark is present. Though I don't know if it is sparking immediately after a shutdown.
I am suspecting the low oil shutoff switch though the oil level is fine and the low oil light does not come on when it dies and stops which gives me doubts. This switch does not look very accessible to try and bypass for troubleshooting.
I unintentionaly stored it a few months with unstabilized gas in the carb. I could smell the stale stuff when I was choking it up on the 1st start attempts. I drained the float bowl twice to make sure fresh was getting to it. These things auto throttle which I am unfamiliar with and don't know if that could be a factor.
Help.

Well folks after 15 years I hit the wall. Total burnout. I sold the RV on Craigslist in 3 days. Well I almost gave it away. Nobody has any money and the banks will not loan any money on a 1995 RV.

After cleaning and waxing the ole gal for 15 years my knees gave out and the heart to get out and climb up and down the RV to keep it looking good just got up and went.

Looking back on the experience I would do it all over again. It was great. It's just time to move on.

Marilyn and I wish you all the best as you folks are the best.

We're facing the inevitable reality of having to park "Old Nellie", our '79 Tioga class C, in storage for the winter. Oh yes, we're adventurous and all, but not adventurous enough to camp in -20 degree Wisconsin weather. So, I guess I'm looking for advice from the "experts", or at least the experienced, on how best to prep the rv for the winter. Any and all pointers you can share would be appreciated!

I have free outdoor storage available at a friend's farm. The problem is, it has a reputation for having mice. Since we just rebuilt the rv and replaced the carpets, paneling, etc, I don't have much desire for an infestation.

Any thoughts?

As a newbie, I am interested in any small bits of advice others have accumulated over their years about issues related to storage....

Thanks millions, RV junkies! (In the most affectionate of tones, of course!)

One dealer indicates that the two front jacks contributes to the problem. When they are used they put stress on the roof structure and adds to the problem.
Forest river is aware of the problems. They indicate that if "you" deliver the coach to Indiana, they will fix it for free. That's great for anyone who lives in Indiana. Unfortunately the "world"is really not that small. Its a known defect with this coach. Go to your local dealer, they will say nothing about it.]]> Fri, 21 Sep 2007 16:51:30 EST http://www.rvusa.com/forum/mbbs22/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=1558 I bet you definatly have a disconnected TPS at your engine throttle lever. The code means TPS counts are too low (disconnected) and this makes the signal fail to 100% throttle. You should have the tps check out soon and I am sure it will cure your problems! Thanks and have a great day! :) ]]> Sun, 31 Oct 2004 01:48:29 EST
